Except as provided in Sections 2.D. and 2.E, below, in no event shall the Underwriter be liable to pay loss under this Excess Follow Form until the total amount of the Underlying Single Loss Limit of Liability as stated in Item 6. of the Declarations has been exhausted solely by reason of the payment of loss by the Underlying Insurer(s) as covered loss under the applicable Underlying Insurance.

E.
Any claim, loss or coverage that is subject to a Sublimit in any Underlying Insurance shall not be considered covered loss under this Excess Follow Form, but shall, for purposes of this Excess Follow Form, reduce or exhaust the Underlying Limit of Liability to the extent such payment reduces or exhausts the aggregate limit(s) of liability of such Underlying Insurance.

HOW TO REPORT LOSSES, CLAIMS, OR POTENTIAL CLAIMS TO TRAVELERS


Reporting new losses, claims, or potential claims promptly can be critical. It helps to resolve covered losses or claims as quickly as possible and often reduces the overall cost. Prompt reporting:


·  
better protects the interests of all parties;
·  
helps Travelers to try to resolve losses or claims more quickly; and
·  
often reduces the overall cost of a loss or claim - losses or claims reported more than five days after they happen cost on average 35% more than those reported earlier.

Report losses, claims, or potential claims to Travelers easily and quickly by fax, U S mail, or email.
